In all the coverage of last weeks elections I've not seen one comment on the poor turnout, around 42% nationally with our area only managing an average of 34%. Why don't people bother to vote? It angers me when people say "I don't vote" and appear proud of this. These people are often those who complain most when councils or government do something they don't like. If you don't vote don't complain. We are very lucky in this country to have the democratic right to vote.
